Amplify Platform, built on an AI native data lake and created to unify the advisor and client experience from onboarding to investment management, announced the launch of QuantumRisk™. This proprietary analysis tool fundamentally reinvents how financial advisors measure, communicate, and manage risk. QuantumRisk was designed from the ground up to help advisors and investors better anticipate and navigate extreme market outcomes.
Built on the pioneering work of Dr. Ron Piccinini, Director of Investment Research, one of the industry’s leading experts in “fat tail risk” modeling, QuantumRisk replaces outdated bell curves and standard deviation assumptions. Advances in high-performance computing and graphics processing units now make this level of precision and complexity possible in real time. This risk analysis engine models real-world probabilities and market stress scenarios to reveal both likelihood and severity beyond routine market fluctuations. The result is a clearer picture of portfolio risk for advisors and a stronger sense of security for clients.
For decades, risk analysis tools have forced advisors to rely on backward-looking models that underestimate real-world volatility, leaving client portfolios vulnerable during events like the global financial crisis and the Covid-19 shock. “Legacy risk tools were built for a market that no longer exists,” said Dr. Ron Piccinini. “We designed our risk engine to reflect how markets actually behave, not how textbooks say they should. This is about giving advisors a competitive edge by making complex risk dynamics immediately visible and actionable.”

Available now within the Amplify platform, QuantumRisk assigns portfolios and securities a value on a standardized scale between zero and 1,000, anchored to the historical tail risk of the S&P 500, where higher values reflect higher exposure to volatility and risk.
Key features of QuantumRisk include:
- Proprietary Simulation Engine: Models millions of real-world outcomes in less than a second with no correlation matrix needed, offering advisors a realistic, actionable, and simple-to-understand view of portfolio risk.
- Greater Risk Transparency: Offers meaningful differentiation across the full spectrum of investments, spanning conservative portfolios to highly leveraged strategies, enabling better portfolio construction, clearer client communication, and more diligent compliance oversight.
- Visual, Client-Ready Experience: Integrates across the entire advisor workflow, delivering intuitive, graphic outputs that support smarter conversations between advisors and clients.
“QuantumRisk is more than simply an upgrade to risk analytics; it’s a transformative tool for enhancing client trust,” said Vickie Lewin, Chief Growth Officer. “Our platform is engineered to empower advisors to grow their business, and with QuantumRisk, we are taking the next step forward in allowing them to manage client expectations during market swings better. By embedding a modern risk score across the full client journey, we’re giving firms the ability to build more resilient portfolios, set clearer expectations and foster more confident relationships.”
